SD-WAN is now one of the fastest growing use-cases within SDN, and Enterprise Network Engineers and Architects considering SD-WAN should attend the online FutureWAN'17 Summit to experience first-hand accounts of the Software Defined-Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) transformation.
In 2016, we witnessed strong adoption of this technology by enterprises and service providers alike. IDC estimates that SD-WAN revenues will exceed $6 billion in 2020 with a compound annual growth rate of more than 90 percent from 2015-to-2020. This tremendous growth is unsurprising given the strong ROI motivators for SD-WAN adoption.
According to Jordan Smith of Gestalt IT, one Fortune 500 healthcare provider that moved to SD-WAN saved more than $2 million with a 700% increase in bandwidth in a five year period. And SD-WAN is a clear priority for many enterprises as highlighted in a recent Packet Pushers discussion on the transformative capabilities of SD-WAN with enterprise architects from financials, healthcare and energy companies.
The FutureWAN'17 summit is designed to provide Enterprise Network Architects and Engineers with the most up-to-date and pertinent information around SD-WANs and their deployment. FutureWAN'17 is structured into four tracks: architecture, operations, cloud/security, and managed services. A diverse set of customers, vendors, analysts and service providers will provide perspectives across these tracks.
The summit will feature a roundtable session with Network Architects, moderated by TechFieldDay, that will consider the pros and cons of the technology for mainstream deployment. In addition, attendees will directly experience SD-WAN deployment stories from leading enterprises including a Fortune-500 healthcare provider and a financial company.
FutureWAN'17 will also feature the latest research in analyst keynote presentations by John Burke of Nemertes Research and Shamus Mcgillicuddy of EMA Research; as well as an open mic with Packet Pushers' analysts Greg Ferro and Ethan Banks.
Featured vendor companies include Anuta Networks, CA Technologies, LiveAction, Palo Alto Networks, Singtel, Verizon Enterprise Solutions, Viptela, VMware, Zscaler and others. These leaders in network monitoring, security, cloud and managed services have identified the large potential of SD-WAN and will share their points of view and expertise at the Summit.
Viptela, with over 15,000 product deployments, will present a live demo of several real-world use-cases from its enterprise customers. In addition, the company will cover leading cloud migration issues including, "Office 365 and SaaS Optimization with SD-WAN", "Enabling AWS and Azure Migrations with SD-WAN", and more.
Rounding out the tracks will be presentations from Zscaler on how-to "Implement Cloud Security with SD-WAN," Verizon on "Banking, Manufacturing, and Healthcare Case Studies," and VMware on "A Virtual Edge Solution for Managed Branch Services."
Viptela is a sponsor of this summit.

Segla Hiking
Ascend Senja's sharp peak
Essential info
- Destination: Senja
- Season: May–September
- Difficulty: Medium
- Distance: 3.7 kilometers (out‑and‑back)
- Elevation Gain: 590 meters
- Duration: 3–4 hours
Open this adventure in the app to save it offline.
About Segla
Segla is one of Senja's most popular hikes. A view from the towering 639-meter peak will provide a breath-taking view over Mefjorden as well as an adrenaline kick peering over the western cliff.
Segla is part of our guide to Senja's hiking trails.
Getting there
From Finnsnes it is about an hour drive to the trailhead for Segla. Drive over Gisundbroa to Senja and continue north towards Senjahopen. Follow this road for about 50 kilometers. After passing Mefjordvatnan on your left, take a right turn towards Fjordgård. When you go through the tunnel, stay left. Follow this road for another 4 kilometers and take a left up the hill towards the Fjordgården school when you see a road sign on the left directing you towards Segla. Here you will find the clearly marked area where you can park for free as well as the trailhead to Segla.
Trail description
The first part of the trip starts up a wide trail from the back of the parking lot. The direction is easy to find, it is also marked with a small road sign. You begin climbing in elevation right away. When you reach crossing trail a few hundred meters up the hill, follow the trail to the right to Segla. Here the path becomes narrower but still very manageable. Already at this point of the hike, the incredible views are presenting themselves.
When you arrive at a plateau at the base of Segla, stay right and head up to the top. This portion of the hike is relatively steep and can be challenging if you have a fear of heights. It is recommended to follow the best-marked path and be careful not to slip on the relatively loose gravel trail.
When you have about 50 meters left to the top, stay slightly left. There you will find a few large boulders where you have the opportunity to peer down below as well as see how beautiful and intense this mountain really is. But be careful!
When you arrive at the top you can sign the "turboka", the tour book, and enjoy the view over Mefjorden and Øyfjorden and all the majestic mountain peaks around. You have a view of Hesten, 556 moh, and Staveltippan in the north. You will see Senjahopa in the west, Store Hesten and Breitinden (Senja's highest mountain) to the south, and to the east, you can see Grytetippen and Keipen. Soak in the sights at the top before taking the same path down the mountain.
The trip to Segla is a popular peak trip with quite a bit of foot traffic. The hike itself is not the biggest attraction, but the view is unbeatable. The trip is very manageable if you like steep heights and reaching peaks but be aware of the weather for high winds can make this trip more daunting. And remember to always use hiking shoes with good grip and support. No water sources are found along the hike so come prepared.

In the fight against malware, having an online data backup solution can prevent businesses and individuals from having to comply with criminals. As we reported in an earlier post, some malware takes the form of ransomware, a malicious encryption that forces victims to pay or risk losing all of their data. But for those with the proper data protection measures in place, such an attack will be a lot less scary.
As an article in ITProPortal points out, the contemporary data environment is such that ransomware poses a massive threat to users. But by looking into online data backup options, businesses can simply tap into their backup if an attack on their main system occurs. Without such a backup, they will be left powerless against cybercrime.
IT expert Peter Heinicke wrote that having data backup in place is the single greatest defensive measure a business can take against ransomware. As Heinicke pointed out, those left to the mercy of ransomware do not have proper security measures in place. Because they don't have a backup to turn to, paying a ransom to criminals is their only option.

I understood very clearly. Thank you so much for nice presentation.
Nazrul, Bangladesh
Dear Ma`am,
You referred to the words such as My, Your, His, Her etc. as Possessive Pronouns but that is NOT CORRECT cause they`re possessive ADJECTIVES as each of them describe a NOUN following them.
Please tell me if I`m wrong and I`d be glad to know your comment.
Best wishes,

I really liked your lessons
thank you very much
Thanks ,,,,
I would like to say Thank you Ms. Valen. i like your lesson.
Dear Valen
I have fun learning English with you thank you so much it is really interesting.I love your way and your examples .
thanks again.
Dear Valen,
I have a question. Actually in the quiz of your lesson "Possession using apostrophie".
Please tell me in Quiz Q.No 3 Charle and Charles
both are the names why both are not true.
Please reply
Hi Valen, I see the fine work you do here. Well, I'd like to take advantage of that by making a question concerning the use of apostrophes that show possession, can they be use for objects? this is an example: The buliding's rooms. Is this correct? I thank you beforehand for your kind attention (I'm a student of English as my second language :D )
Are you sure that we add an apostrophe to the proper names which already have "s" at the end? Because I saw "Butters' new shirt" (for example) They simply added an apostrophe to the end. Without double s.
Thanks for the video! I'd like to see more about grammar. Especially if it's complicated. ;)
Your lesson helps me to know better. Thank you so much.
thank's very much your taught always clear for me thank's a lot
hi you are very nice teacher
Thanks for posting these lectures.This helepd me a lot to improve my emglish. Truly great work…
Hi Valen actually I didn't use this website a lote,
but I watched some of your vidio lessons and is good
but I like to speak with an amrican english teacher from chat or anything you can do.
and in my country doesn't have those teachers
so if you can any time I will thankyou very much.
Nice to know that you know so many languages!!! English is my most preferred language!!!
Regarding possession and apostraphe's — What about if you are trying to say that two boys own an item(s)?
Ex. The boys's bedroom. or The boys' bedroom? The boy's bedrooms…
I have an ongoing argument with someone who has two boys! This comes up a lot and frankly, I'm really not sure how it's written or said. I say it like a proper name, like the Charles's pen example. Please clarify.
hi miss valen thank you
hello,my name is malick from west Africa, i'm very fond of your wonderful lessons in english and that was my first time to see those commons expressions in english,let me wish all my congratulations for you!
hello I have a question Valen.khi we add s to s as from a word ending such as this sentence charles's birthday is tomorrow.
I have a question about this sentence,"Tall guy gets knocked out by one punch after harassing a man and his friends." my question is why they use the word "gets" instead got….what is difference between got knocked out and gets knocked out. I don't understand the concept of using two verb side by side but one verb is past tense and other verb is present tense.

Hey guys! Extremely excited to be doing another feature on the blog, it has been a while. Today, I will be featuring a Lifestyle Blogger I met on Twitter, woot woot! Before I give anything away, lets get right into it.
Please tell us about yourself and your blog
Hey! I'm Eboni, a Fashion, Travel and Lifestyle blogger over at EBONI + IVORY. I am also slowly building my YouTube channel.
My blog is a place to find inspiration for affordable, trendy fashion looks. I also post about food and beauty with lots of lil reviews. Recently I have also really enjoyed writing some "think posts".
Describe yourself using just five words
Friendly, Fun, Kind, Honest, Creative.
Do you have fashion icons? Name your top 3 and go!
Oh goodness! I have many, but at the mo, my top 3 are – Diana Veras, Chloe Plumstead and Courtney Quinn.
Social media is a huge slice of the cake when it comes on to blogging. Which social media platform do you like the most and why?
Okay, assuming we're not including YouTube, I am loving Instagram at the mo! At the start of the year I would have said Twitter, but I am really loving discovering new Instagram accounts, growing my own account and watching/using insta stories – it can be so creative!
Bloggers can be found everywhere these days, what makes your blog different?
My blog is very much an extension of me and I am different! I have a wide variety of interests and hobbies and I love to share them. I also think my blog is one of the best places for affordable fashion – I am a sucker for a bargain and a dupe so you are bound to find all the latest trends on my blog, but for a fraction of the price!
You're putting pictures out there for the whole world to see. What is your biggest fear about blogging?
My biggest fear is that I stop growing and getting better. As a trained performer, I have always known I wanted to go into an exposing industry so I have always been mentally prepared for connecting with a lot of people.
My fear is that people lose interest in me and I lose momentum in my growth. There are loads of things I want to achieve in blogging
and i am fearful that won't achieve them!
What is it that makes you get up everyday and continues blogging, what is your motivational strategy?
I love connecting with people! I love when someone relates to a post I wrote, or decides to buy something I wore, or is inspired by something I posted. Blogging is something that is also very rewarding for my self confidence and mental health. It gives me something to do and a voice to be heard! When I'm feeling demotivated, I read other blogs and watch YouTube videos until I feel inspired! I always say to myself, if I ever stop enjoying blogging, I will stop blogging.
If you would be doing something else other than blogging, what would it be?
I am a blogger as a hobby at the moment. I am actually a trained actor and singer. I do acting work alongside blogging and would love to build my career in that world too.
Have you met any interesting/famous person on your journey thus far?
I have worked at a top London theatre for the past 7 years where I have bumped into a lot of famous people!
In terms of blogging, I have been at events where there have been some successful bloggers/YouTubers, but I have never spoken to them! *monkey covering eyes emoji* haha.
Where do you see your blog in the next five years?
I am hoping to be working with some big brands on blog and YouTube content. I would love to go on press trips and get to know other bloggers in person! I want to continue to write some interesting "think" posts and offer affordable yet stylish fashion content. I also hope my YouTube channel is established and successful! I would love to be in the position to go completely self-employed and work with some amazing brands and grow a loyal audience.
What was your biggest lesson of 2017 so far?
This year I learned a couple of things – in my personal life it was how to be a little more selfish and not let other people affect my self-worth. In blogging, I learnt that I find writing "think-posts" and spending more time on my writing is so much more rewarding than throwing a few images together. I now like to have a balance between deeper, lifestyle posts and more beauty/fashion based ones.
What are some of the best projects you have worked on and some top brands you would love to work with?
I really love working on projects whilst travelling- so reviewing a 5* hotel spa in Amsterdam for my birthday this year was amazing. Also spending 5 nights on an Italian Island with the Procida Island tourism board was a highlight.
I would love to work with more clothing brands in future such as New Look, Primark, Topshop and ASOS.
I would also love to work with more hotels and tour companies on some travel content!
Say goodbye, in a sentence or two.
It was lovely doing this interview, thank you for having me! If you're reading this, please come and say hi on one of my social media channels, I'd love to chat!

I hope it was fun learning more about Eboni. Check out her blog here and follow her on

English – Essay practice
'Explain how a main character has helped us understand a main theme in the movie'
The movie 'Ender's Game' was directed by Gavin Hood and was released in 2013, it is the movie adaption of the novel 'Ender's Game' written by Orson Scott Card. The main protagonist is 'Ender Wiggin' a young teenage boy, who undergoes vigourous training along with thousands of other in a special selection progress. There are a few very important themes in the book, some of these include warfare, youth, manipulation and Leadership. Leadership is a theme in the movie that is very important, Ender faces many challenges along the movie and they all help him realise his true identity as a leader. An example of a challenge that Ender faced was the final battle scene where he destroys the Formics home planet.
During the movie; Ender faces many challenges during the film, many of these challenges help him identify his leadership qualities. When Ender is accepted into battle school he is afraid of standing out from the others, scared of being superior. He wants to be accepted and liked by the rest of the launchies and recruits. Colonel Graff exposes Ender as being smart, as being better than the rest of the launchies while on the spaceship heading to battle school. This means that most of the launchies have an instant enmity against Ender. This is shown when Bernard says "Oh look, it's the smartass". Ender has very few friends, and he is very lonely and isolated, this makes Ender believe he is going to fail and he will not become a leader. This is a key to Ender and his progression into a leader. This helps us as an audience realise that leadership is earned and sometimes you won't always start out on the front foot however leadership can still be earned through doing outstanding things.
Ender slowly became a leader, he stood out above the rest because of his skills, tactical thinking, fighting and morals. He showed resilience and fortitude which made him a great leader. He showed resilience and confidence when he got shouted at for asking a question, Sergeant Dap told Ender "I will never salute you" meaning that he will never be under Enders command. Ender replied "Yes you will" this showed resilience and confidence, he was suddenly seen as a leader. This was the start of Enders accent into a leadership role. This was very important for Ender as it gave him morale and confidence. The rest of his peers saw Ender as a leader and they followed him and his ideas. This helps us as an audience to realise what leadership is and what it encompasses.
Once Ender had become a leader he had to maintain his leadership position. Ender kept his leadership position by being smart, tactical and inclusive. Ender was a very inclusive leader and expected teamwork and inclusiveness amongst everyone. In the movie there is a scene where Ender is asked to explain how to slingshot his forces using the gravitational pull of the moon. Ender says " I think Bean and Ali have a better handle on this than I do." This showed that Ender is willing to admit he isn't better than other people, and that he is inclusive. This scene helps us understand what being a leader means and what it signifys and tells us about a person.
In the movie Enders game, the main protagonist is a young teen named Ender. The movie has many important themes, one of which is leadership. Ender undergoes a huge change, he develops mentally and physcologically. He develops into a great leader. He encompases leadership and its values. He shows resiliance and fortitude numerous times, he shows determination and mental strength. He also showed great teamworking skills, he was inclusive and honest. Ender helped us as an audience understand what leadership is and what encompasses.
English – Outsiders essay practice.
'Explain how a character helped you to understand a key theme.'
The Outsiders is a book that was written in 1967 by S.E Hinton, who was only 15 at the time. There was a film adaption of the book made in 1983, it was directed by Francis Ford Coppola. There are many key themes in the book however this essay is going to be discussing 'coming of age'. Coming of age is the transition between childhood and adulthood. Ponyboy shows coming of age on several occasions throughout the novel, an example of this is when he gets confronted by some Socs at the end of the novel trying to threaten him. There are other examples such as when Johnny dies. Ponyboy helps us to understand what coming of age is and what it stands for.
Ponyboy gets jumped by some Socs while leaving the theatres after watching a movie. Ponyboy is walking home when a blue mustang pulls up next to him and out jump a group of Socs, they aggressively and violently attack him. The Socs assault him, suddenly they all flee. Darry and some of Pony's gang turn up, they chase off the Socs. The ordeal left Ponyboy with a deep cut on his forehead from the blade of the Soc, however nothing more. Ponyboy felt emotionally weak and he felt like crying, but he knew he had no reason to cry. Ponyboy stated in the book "You just don't cry in front of Darry. Not unless you're hurt like Johnny had been that day we found him in the vacant lot. Compared to Johnny I wasn't hurt at all." Ponyboy was able to prevent himself from crying and showed self control. Ponyboy was able to stay strong and wipe the tears away was a sign of maturity and courage. This had a small effect on Ponyboy and his journey to adulthood. This scene showed Ponyboy was coming of age.
In the book; Johnny, Ponyboys close friend Johnny dies. This has a profound effect on him. Ponyboy had experienced a lot of pain and troubles, he had seen Bob get killed, he had been jumped and he lost his parents when he was younger. Losing Johnny affected him because they were both very close and had both been through tough times together. The tough times they had been through and faced made losing Johnny even harder for Ponyboy. Ponyboy had been through a lot of mental and emotional hardship, this has helped him develop into a more mature, emotionally stable teenager. This is part of his transition into adulthood, and he shows coming of age.
At the end of the novel, Ponyboy is confronted by some hostile and aggressive Socs. They threaten Ponyboy and accuse him of killing Bob. Ponyboy smashes his glass bottle he was drinking out of and points the broken glass towards the Socs and walks towards them in a aggressive, threatening manner. The Socs flee, they were not expecting Ponyboy to react the way he did. At the start of the novel Ponyboy is a young teenager who is scared of getting hurt, scared of pain, and scared of death. Ponyboy shows that he has changed throughout the novel, he showed resilience and fortitude. Everything in the novel leads up to this point, it all helps him mature emotionally. He accepts that life is not fair, life is tough but he does not let it affect him. He shows the audience he has matured and come of age.
Ponyboy faced many challenges and struggles throughout his journey, all of these push him to his mental and emotional limits. All this hardship helps him mature. Ponyboy shows perseverance and fortitude throughout the book, this helps him mature and become mentally stronger. He shows us many times throughout the book that he has matured and come of age. Ponyboy helps the audience understand what coming of age is and what causes it.

The One Year® Chronological Bible, NKJV (Tyndale, 2013), December 8
A terrorist entered the garden of Eden to capture the heart and soul of man. Adam and Eve succumbed to the enemy when they failed to appropriate God's Word, lift up the shield of faith, and stand against him. Sadly, they didn't realize the importance of that moment, and they doomed all of humanity to slavery under the dominion of sin and the enemy. A promise regarding the Redeemer (Gen. 3:15) formed their only hope, and the first sacrifice by God in the garden pictured that redemption.
The Apostle Paul describes the fight for faith in a fallen world: "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Eph. 6:11). The enemy, the weaponry, and the battleground haven't changed in millennia. To be unprepared is to be defenseless and defeated.
Paul describes the enemy, the prepared soldier, and the battle in Ephesians 6:10-20:
The enemy – He uses "wiles" (6:11)—he employs questions and makes statements to create doubt about God's character and the veracity of His word. His tactics come straight from Genesis 3:1-5: "Has God indeed said? . . . . You will not surely die. For God knows that that in the day that you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God . . . ." The enemy hasn't changed his strategy. What worked then works now. He still flings faith-wrecking and fiery darts to question the goodness of God's character and the veracity of His word.
The prepared soldier and the battle – "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (Eph. 6:13). Paul describes the effective soldier as a person of discipline:
- Restrained passions, "Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth" (6:14) – Eve made a decision to eat of the forbidden fruit based on the appeal to the eyes and the stomach: "So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate" (Gen. 3:6). Thus, revealed truth became secondary to enticed and unrestrained appetites.
- Guarded heart, "having put on the breastplate of righteousness" (Eph. 6:14) – Adam and Eve were already created in the image of God, yet they forsook that position before God in exchange for being "like God, knowing good and evil" (Gen. 3:5). Righteousness is God-produced, not man-produced; therefore the heart must be guarded against suicidal thoughts of self-righteousness.
- Intentional living, "and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace" (Eph. 6:15). Cain rebelled against truth and established a path well-worn by the majority of humanity—those who live outside of the presence of God, who "steal, kill, and destroy" like their father (Jn. 10:10; 1 Jn. 3:10-12). Abel, however, established a path where men lived in light of God's promise of redemption, where few have trod. The soldier lives to share the gospel of Christ.
- Appropriation of faith, "above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one" (Eph. 6:16). Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17); therefore, knowing and appropriating what God has clearly stated creates a missile-defense shield around the believer, which puts out the fire of the enemy's darts. Truth must be appropriated!
- Renewed mind, "And take the helmet of salvation" (Eph. 6:17). The mind naturally defaults to sinful thinking; therefore, a new default must be developed, where errant thoughts are taken captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Cor. 10:3-5).
- Offensive use of the Word, "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Eph. 6:17). Knowing a few verses here and there limits the soldier in his ability to strike the enemy with a deathblow. Knowing the whole counsel of God, however, gives the believer an arsenal from which to draw. Every believer must have a solid understanding of who God is, who he or she is in Christ, and what story is being played out on today's battlefield.
The soldier so armed prays with authority and experiences great victory!
Questions from today's chronological Bible reading (Eph. 5:15-6:24; Col. 1:1-23):
What are the components of Paul's prayer in Colossians 1:9-12? How do these components relate to Paul's description of the soldier and his battle in Ephesians 6?

7 Great Google AdWords Lessons You Should Learn from Your Dog
Good Google AdWords tips can come from the most unexpected sources; even from our furry four legged friend. Have you ever observed your dog's behavior? If your dog could talk, he/she would have you learn the following 7 great lessons in managing Google AdWords campaign.
Lesson 1: Clear Call to Actions
If a dog wants the sausage you are eating, he will come to you wagging his tail, staring at the sausage and letting you know exactly what he wants. The same goes for your marketing message. Your call to action must be short, clear and concise.
If the objective is to promote your free e-book, try to avoid generic call to actions such as "click here" and "learn more" that do not describe the action you're requesting. "Free e-book Download" may sounds more compelling and attractive in this case.
Lesson 2: Focus On a Single Goal
Stop being greedy by optimising your Google AdWords campaigns for so many goals. If the objective is to lower down cost per lead, you shouldn't bother too much about other metrics such as click through rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC). Try to optimise for a hundred things and you'll accomplish next to nothing!
Lesson 3: Be Adventurous & Keep Your Options Open
In Google AdWords Search Campaign, it is good to be adventurous by starting off your campaign with broad match keywords and narrow it down subsequently. Try not to limit your opportunities by using phrase & exact match targeting in the beginning as you may run the risk of missing out profitable keyword ideas that have low competition.
Lesson 4: Persevere
Running a Google AdWords campaign can be daunting at first especially when you are new to the platform. Even when faced with what seems like an insurmountable challenge, please do not despair and keep working hard towards your goal.
Perseverance and persistence generally pays! (If you are doing it the right way of course). Get an expert to help you if you are unsure how to handle the campaign.

Once you stop learning, you start dying. So step out of your comfort zone and start testing out different aspect of your campaign such as ad copies, keyword match type, bidding and so on.
Once you have a winner, get rid of the loser and repeat the whole process again. You will be benefited with new insights and fresh ideas previously unknown. If you want to be on top of your game, keep learning.
Lesson 7: Don't Ignore Mobile Users
According to a research done by Global Web Index, 80% of Internet users own a smartphone and 75% of them are accessing mobile internet services on their smartphones.

Coupling this with a mobile responsive site, it could improve your entire SEM campaign performance.

I'm a little behind on my reading (and writing!) but Yes Pasaran has been hard at work finding awesome news so I'm reblogging a handful of his articles. Oh yeah and this article is FREAKING AWESOME!
A village in Hungary has banned the wearing of Muslim dress and the call to prayer. By leading what it calls "the war against Muslim culture", it hopes to attract other Christian Europeans who object to multiculturalism in their own countries.
"We primarily welcome people from western Europe – people who wouldn't like to live in a multicultural society," Laszlo Toroczkai tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. "We wouldn't like to attract Muslims to the village."
Mr. Toroczkai is mayor of Asotthalom, a remote village in the southern Hungarian plains, situated around two hours from the capital Budapest.
"It's very important for the village to preserve its traditions. If large numbers of Muslims arrived here, they would not be able to integrate into the Christian community."
"We can see large Muslim communities in western Europe that haven't been able to integrate – and we don't want to have the…

Tormead Junior School
Tormead Junior School is a happy, friendly and relaxed school but with high expectations both in and outside the classroom.
Our girls enjoy a broad and balanced curriculum. The school prides itself on its high academic standards and expectation of the girls whilst ensuring teaching and learning is exciting and challenging. French is taught from Year 3, with the addition of Spanish and Latin from Year 5. All girls enjoy specialist teaching in music, games and gymnastics, and from Year 2, also in Design Technology. The ICT curriculum gradually builds up the skills of the girls, and by the end of the Junior School they are confidently using computers as a tool for learning in other subjects. iPad technology is used throughout the school, but in particular with Years 5 and 6 in preparation for Senior School life.
Girls are taught by subject specialists for some subjects from Year 1; this increases as they move towards Year 6 when they are taught by different staff, from both Junior and Senior sections of the school. This provides them with the opportunity to get to know some of their Year 7 teachers before they move 'across the road', and also exposes them to expert tuition in all subject areas.
From Year 1 onwards, girls are taught 'Thinking and Learning'. This title covers a broad range of topics encompassing Philosophy, Independence, Critical Thinking and, for older girls, Study Skills and Time Management. Healthy debate on a wide variety of subjects is encouraged, with recent topics including 'Artificial Intelligence' (Year 3) and 'How Do We Measure Success?' (Year 6).
The curriculum of the Junior School achieves a dichotomy of aims; it ensures that the teachers have high expectations of the girls and that academic standards are high, whilst teaching in a way that – quite simply put – is 'fun'. By ensuring that the teaching and learning in the Junior School is interesting and motivating, the girls are fully focused on their work and keen to learn more.
In addition to their activities in the classroom, the girls enjoy numerous opportunities to be involved in extra-curricular activities. The aim of the school is to offer a comprehensive range of activities to allow each girl to find something during the week that she would like to participate in and so develop her talents in this area. Extra-curricular activities (in addition to sports) include: Art, Archery, Fencing, LAMDA, Jazz Band, instrumental Ensembles, two orchestras, several choirs, Photography, Gardening, computers, cookery and board games.
All sport – except swimming , where we use the excellent facilities at Surrey Sports Park – are catered for by facilities on the Junior or Senior School sites and includes the use of the sprung floor gymnasium. The girls have regular fixtures with neighbouring schools in numerous sports throughout the year.
The ethos of the school means that all girls have an opportunity to be involved in all extra-curricular or sporting activities, regardless of their ability. Girls with a particular talent in their chosen activity are provided with additional practice.
Personal, Social and Health Education is not just an academic subject for girls in Tormead Junior School but also a way of life. There are high expectations of how the girls will behave. During lessons, once a week, the girls will consider topics such as friendship, setting targets and goals, how we should treat the environment and how to live a healthy life. In addition, moral and social issues are regularly the subject of assemblies. In their final year in the Junior School, prior to their transfer to the Senior School, the girls follow a course on growth and development. Pastoral Care of the girls was described by our last Independent Schools Inspection as 'outstanding'; this is achieved by dealing with any concerns the girls may have, whether over a friendship or an activity in school, quickly and conscientiously.

Jesus said more about money than just about any other subject. He warned about the danger of loving money more than God:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6)
This guide has been put together to help answer the following questions about giving at Point Community Church.
- What does the Bible teach us about giving?
- How does the church use the money given?
- What are the ways in which one can give?
The principle of giving
"Though he was rich, yet for our sakes he became poor." (2 Corinthians 8:9)
The generosity of God on sending His Son to take the punishment for sinful people is an incredible act of generosity. In turn, God's people are to be generous and kind hearted, to be givers.
The Apostle Paul calls on each Christian to give what he has decided in his heart to give. (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Not everyone can give the same amount, but we should all be giving. In many churches approximately 40% in the congregation give nothing.
We understand that not everyone will be able to give the same, but we want everyone to share in the joy of Christian giving. Paul uses the example of the Macedonian churches, who though very poor…"Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lords people" (2 Corinthians 8:4)
They were in fact pleading with Paul to give their money away. Giving for them was a way of expressing partnership in Paul's gospel work.
Giving generously and sacrificially
In the Old Testament, God commanded his people to give at least a tenth (tithe) of all their produce to God in joyful response to his blessings for them. Much of the tithe went towards supporting the priests and Levites who served them in God's work, and through them to the poor in the community. (Numbers 18, Deuteronomy 26)
How much are we supposed to give?
It may come as a surprise that the New Testament never commands percentages. A good starting point for most people is 10%. This however should not be a legalistic figure we must stick to. If you have a large family or earn very little, even 10% may be difficult to manage. But if you have been blessed you can afford to give a higher percentage.
"In the midst of very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability" (2 Cor 8:2-3)
A good approach to giving is to make your giving sacrificial in some way. That is, we give beyond the point of comfort. Gods giving to us was sacrificial, it cost Him everything. It therefore makes sense that our giving should see us accepting personal cost. Our tendency might be to give only if there is something left over after we have decided what we want or need. It might be more in line with the Bibles teaching to first consider your giving, even though that may be a sacrifice.
Notice how Jesus commends the poor widow (Mark 14:41-44). Her two copper coins represented far greater sacrifice, and therefore impressed Jesus far more than the rich who could easily afford to give more, but weren't actually sacrificing much by doing so.
Give responsibly
In some practical advice about a collection for the Jerusalem poor, Paul says, "On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made" (1 Cor 16:2)
This tells us that we as Christians need to:
- Plan ahead responsibly in terms of our giving
- Give proportionally according to our income
Give cheerfully
We read in 2 Cor 9:7 that God loves a cheerful giver. According to Paul, the opportunity to give in support of work of the kingdom can be considered a grace from God. We can also give cheerfully knowing that generous, sacrificial giving is often Gods way of helping us battle materialism and our way of storing up (real!) treasure in heaven.
Give quietly
Jesus warned about the danger of giving to impress others. "When you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honoured by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your right hand know what your left hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you" (Matt 6:2-4)
Final Note:
The work at Point Community Church is entirely reliant on giving from the Point Community Church congregation. We don't receive any funding from our denomination. We are grateful for God's faithfulness and provision over the years through the generosity of many people.

Many times my students ask – hey Jason, what are the best books on SEO?
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) May 06, 2015
The JM Internet Group, a top provider of SEO Training online, is proud to announce that its director, Jason McDonald, has updated his popular list of recommended SEO Books available for purchase on Amazon. The list is updated at least twice a year, and this current update features some new and forthcoming books on search engine optimization geared for small business owners and marketers. SEO, of course, is the art and science of getting one's company, products and/or services to the top of Google, Bing, and Yahoo.Best Books on SEO, 2015
"I teach Search Engine Optimization online for the JM Internet Group and in the San Francisco Bay Area," Jason McDonald, Senior Director of the JM Internet Group. "Many times my students ask – hey Jason, what are the best books on SEO? What books would be top-rated? What SEO books would you recommend? I've found that by putting together a so-called 'Listmania' on Amazon, I can both share my recommendations on SEO books and make it easy for interested parties to purchase one or more of these books."
To see the list and read more about the search engine optimization books, please visit http://www.amazon.com/SEO-Books-2015-2016-Optimization/lm/R2ZJ80G4COWMSZ. To learn more about the JM Internet Group, including its books and classes on SEO, AdWords, and Social Media Marketing, please visit http://www.jm-seo.org/.
Books on Internet Marketing: Advantages of Books Over Other Information Types
Today's blogosphere is full of an avalanche of information on online marketing, with pundits weighing in on everything from 'on page' to 'off page' SEO to the latest Penguin and Panda updates by Google. Indeed, another hot topic these days is so-called 'social authority,' wherein Google and Bing are paying increasing attention to the strength of one's Twitter, Google+, and/or Facebook profiles, shares, and followers. The major providers also have a lot of information on the topic, admittedly slanted towards promoting their advertising products as much as truly explaining to a needy small business marketer how to get his company to the top of search. The resulting information overload can cause many a company to go into 'analysis paralysis,' and give up on the field of SEO altogether. Add to the mix the plethora of companies offering SEO services, and one has a witches brew of disinformation.
Books, in contrast to blog posts and the self-serving messages of other parties, offer a more in-depth way to approach the topic. With the explosion in self-publishing and the continued interest of major publishers in online marketing, the marketer can go to Amazon and other online booksellers and find a wealth of books. Therein, however, lies another problem: there are now many, many books on the topic of varying degrees of quality. By virtue of teaching classes in marketing for the JM Internet Group, for Bay Area institutions such as AcademyX and Bay Area Video Academy, and for Stanford University Continuing Studies, Dr. McDonald is in the unique position of knowing what makes easy and clear sense to the average reader.
The list of recommended books on Amazon is an unbiased look at the field of SEO, with books ranging from beginner to intermediate to advanced. New for the May, 2015, update to the list is an 'SEO coffee cup,' which is a tongue-in-cheek yet real product that can serve up some caffeine as one investigates the field of search marketing!
Recommending Books for the List
The list is open to recommendations, and Dr. McDonald in fact receives many submissions from book authors to be included on the list. The criteria are simply that the book be on the topic, be available on Amazon, and be sufficiently innovative yet basic in content so that a small business marketer can follow its advice. Interested parties are referred to the JM Internet Group website or Jason McDonald's private website at http://www.jasonmcdonald.org/ to submit books for possible inclusion.
About the JM Internet Group
The JM Internet Group provides SEO, Social Media Marketing, and Google AdWords training and courses for busy marketers and businesspeople. Online search engine optimization training helps explain keywords, page tags, link building strategies and other techniques needed to climb to the top of search engine rankings for Google, Yahoo, and Bing. The teaching methodology is hands on, with live examples and discussions, taught from the convenience of each student's computer.

Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will explore the themes of grief and loss in Hamlet. The lesson will begin with an exploration of the students' understanding of how grief and loss may be experienced in life. Students will then draw a connection between these everyday examples and the presentation of grief in Hamlet by viewing a video segment from Shakespeare Uncovered. Next, students will turn to the text of Hamlet and examine the responses to grief that appear in Act I, Scene ii of the play. They will break into groups to examine the ways Hamlet, Gertrude, and Claudius characterize grief and mourning and draw upon their understanding of the play to speculate about the significance of these reactions. Students will then select one of three characters – Hamlet, Ophelia, or Laertes – and in a short paper explore how grief and loss is presented in the chosen character and how that grief drives the character's actions for the rest of the play.
This lesson is best used during a reading of Hamlet.
Time Allotment
between one and two 45-minute class periods
Learning Objectives
After completing this lesson, students will be able to:
- Describe how Shakespeare explores the themes of grief and loss in Hamlet.
- Draw connections between the students' experiences with grief (personal or otherwise) with the grief experienced by characters in Hamlet.
- Interpret a literary text by identifying the techniques used by the author and how they contribute to its meaning.
- Analyze themes, plot, and character in Hamlet.
Prep for Teachers
Prior to teaching this lesson you will need to:
- Preview all of the video segments used in the lesson. Prepare to watch them using your classroom's Internet connection.
- For each student print out and make copies of the Hamlet Act I, Scene ii Text Excerpt; the Hamlet Act I, Scene ii Student Organizer; and the Grief in Hamlet Assignment.
- Print out one copy of the Hamlet Act I, Scene ii Student Organizer Answer Key for the class.
For the class:
- Computer, projection screen, and speakers (for class viewing of online video segments).
- One copy of the Hamlet Act I, Scene ii Student Organizer Answer Key
For each student:
- One copy of the Hamlet Act I Scene ii Text Excerpt
- One copy of the Hamlet Act I Scene ii Student Organizer
- One copy of the Grief in Hamlet Assignment
Introductory Activity
- Tell your students that as part of your study of Hamlet, you'll be exploring the different ways the theme of grief appears in the play. Explain that you want them to think about what we learn from Shakespeare about how grief and loss shape us as human beings.
- Next, tell your students to think about the ways people are affected by loss. Ask: What different kinds of loss do people experience? (Accept all answers, but invite them to consider the many different ways people experience loss, i.e. death of a loved one; loss of money or property; divorce or loss of friendships; loss of a job or opportunity; loss of power or status; loss of hope of something that is wished for; loss of youth through aging; loss of health through illness). You may wish to write the suggestions on the board so students can refer to the list throughout the Introductory Activity.
- Ask your students to each pick one of the types of loss the class has identified and write a journal entry about how people are affected by that kind of loss. To help them think about this topic, ask students to address the following questions in their journal entries:
- How would this loss affect a person's mood, behavior, or thoughts?How might you see this change?
- How might the loss impact the person's relationships with other people?
- How might the person express their feelings over the loss? Are there any kinds of rituals people perform to help overcome their sense of loss?
- How might the loss affect what the person decides to do next?
Learning Activities
- Introduce the video segment by asking your students to consider the following questions as they view the segment: How is the theme of grief and loss introduced in Hamlet? How has Hamlet's story touched others, such as the actors who have played him, or even the playwright who created the character?
- Play the segment Grief-Stricken Hamlet.
- After viewing the segment, pose the questions you asked students to think about: How is the theme of grief and loss introduced in the story of Hamlet? How has Hamlet's story touched others, such as the actors who have played him, or even the playwright who created the character? (Hamlet grieves his father, who has died just before the play starts. The actors suggest the play resonates when you have lost a loved one; that it seems to reflect the way people experience grief. It's suggested that Shakespeare wrote Hamlet while he was grieving the death of his son Hamnet. Some students may note the play itself is a way that Shakespeare expressed his own grief and found a way to use it in his work.)
- When you are done discussing the segment, tell your students you'd like to take a closer look at how Hamlet experiences and expresses his grief in the play. Explain that as a class they will be reading aloud from Act I, Scene ii of Hamlet.
- Remind students of the context of this scene: This is the second scene in the play and it's the first time we see Hamlet. The scene takes place in the royal court of Denmark. Hamlet's father, the previous king, has recently died. Hamlet's uncle Claudius has taken the throne and has also married the dead king's widow, Hamlet's mother Gertrude. A number of other courtiers are also present, and the king has been reviewing court business.
- Distribute the Act I, Scene ii Text Excerpt. Ask for three volunteers to read the scene aloud. Remind your students there are three characters in this scene and ask for brief descriptions of each character. Answers should include:
- Hamlet: Son of the previous king of Denmark; he is currently the Prince of Denmark. He is grieving his father's death. He is highly intelligent and tends to ask lots of questions. He doesn't always obey authority.
- Claudius: He is Hamlet's uncle and the new king of Denmark. He is very authoritative, but perhaps, under it all, feels guilty about his brother's death.
- Gertrude: She is Hamlet's mother. She loves her son and is worried about him, but she is also worried about whether he will displease the new king, her husband Claudius. She is trying to make peace between her son and her new husband.
- Wearing black ("nighted colour" – line 68; "inky cloak" – line 77; "suits of solemn black" – line 78)
- Downcast eyes ("vailed lids" – line 70) Sighs ("windy suspiration" – line 79) Tears ("fruitful river in the eye" – line 80)
- Sad facial expressions ("dejected 'havior of the visage" – 81)
Culminating Activity
- When you are finished discussing Act I, Scene ii, explain to your students the grief we see in this early scene helps to drive the action in the rest of the play. Point out that other characters in the play also experience grief and mourning. Guide them to realize that both Ophelia and Laertes also experience losses. If students have trouble identifying these characters, prompt them with the following questions:
- During the play, which characters die? (Students should note that many characters die in this play, but the death that is a pivotal event is the murder of Polonius.)
- Which characters experience the loss of a family member or a disappointment? (Hamlet, of course, experiences the death of his father and is disappointed by his mother's response. Ophelia is disappointed because she has lost Hamlet's love, and then she loses her father Polonius. Laertes also loses his father.)
- What signs of grief do you see in the character?
- Is this character permitted to mourn?
- Does this character appear to heal from the grief?
- What actions result from their experience of loss?

Wheels keep turning and the kids keep me smiling.
Have you ever tried to brush a two year old teeth while they are chewing a fruit gum, those things are super glue for teeth under normal circumstances, with the added benefit of teeth being firmly clenched I needed a crowbar to prise his mouth apart. You can imaging the taste can't you? as I started brushing, his face contoured and he said "disgusting". Yes it probably is, very, but your teeth are being brushed.
Next came the 10 minute chase around the bedrooms to brush his hair. When I eventually caught him I tried in vain to brush the really really fuzzy bit at the back. Somehow in between going to bed last night and getting up this morning the back of his head had been covered in still more sticky stuff that had stiffened his hair in to a horrible mat of knots that no amount of detangle spray could part. I gave up, brush the front to look smart and hoped no one would see him from behind all day. As soon as it was done he messed it all up again by rubbing his fruit gummy hands all over it. Cue stifled cry of frustration from me.
Having accepted that this one was a lost cause this morning I headed over to number 1 son. What an angel, only moaned alittle as I brushed his hair and even stopped playing his computer game long enough to brush his own teeth. It was while we were having a conversation about the validity of Ham the Space Chimp actually being able to do some amazing stunt that I realised how quickly he is growing up.
Its bizarre when eldest was 6 I thought of her being so old and sensible and mature, and now he's 6 I still desperately want to baby him and not push him to hard or expect to much from him. I suppose that's the benefit with being a 2nd child.
With eldest I hold her up as a shining example of can do and will do and isn't she fabulous, with the other 2 I'm not so preoccupied on them being the best, first, cleverest I just want them to be happy and comfortable. Even knowing this I still can't help pushing her and I know I probably expect to much from her. One saving grace I suppose is she knows I love her with all my heart and I am so proud of the woman she is becoming even though she makes the odd slip up now and again.
So today I hold my head up high and say "I love my kids".

Rejuvenating Rosé Spritzer
Stress runs high during the holidays, which could compromise digestion. Kombucha is packed with gut-friendly probiotics to help maintain healthy gut flora, in addition to compounds that fight harmful free radicals. Light and bright, rosé is a great match for effervescent grapefruit, both of which contain rich amounts of flavonoids—powerful plant antioxidants shown to help reduce blood pressure, fight inflammation, and improve vascular function.
How to Make It
Place grapefruit juice and St-Germain in a lowball glass. Add 1/2 cup ice; top with kombucha and rosé. Garnish with lemon slice.
